I had five or so Nexus devices over the years, ending with my Nexus 5X bootlooping 18 months into owning it. I picked up a Xiaomi Mi A1 and I could not be happier—it is part of the "Android One" initiative so it runs AOSP, gets se

Technically true, but this is not really about terms of service or about "spoofing identities of non-consenting parties." This is about Google and Amazon not wanting to become collateral damage and lose business in those countri

I think the custom is different depending on where you're from. I'm American and I have always used a space between the text and the opening paren. On that note, another American thing is to put two spaces after a period (somethin

You're thinking of DNS over HTTPS, which Firefox nightly does have support for. This submission is about DNS over TLS, which has been around a little longer and has a few working DNS clients and servers already. :)

This submission is about DNS over TLS, which is a ratified standard. You're talking about DNS over HTTPS, which is super cool, but not yet a standard. :)

One reason could be that you don't use Windows. Glancing at SubSync's GitHub repository I see it seems to be a Windows project, whereas subliminal runs anywhere Python does.

This is the first I've heard of cloudflared (aka Argo). It's a DNS over HTTPS proxy. As far as I know Firefox is working to get DNS over HTTPS into Nightly so it can be used directly in the browser, but this proxy allows your whol

I understand the desire for statistics, but they should make it more obvious that nightly isn't just daily builds from master. I've run Nightly from time to time and had no idea it was automatically opting in to Shield studies.
